Partners and members of the AfRICANDO 2026 Organising Committee led by the Chairman and Chief of Staff (CoS) to Abia State Governor, Caleb Ajagba, have explained that the forthcoming AfRICANDO 2026 holding in Umuahia will put Abia on global spotlight.
Speaking in Umuahia during a press conference to herald the AfRICANDO 2026 conference, representatives of the partners of the conference said AfRICANDO 2026 will position Abia State as an important player in the global economy.
President, Foundation for Democracy in Africa, and Chairman, AGOA Civil Society Organisations Network, Mr Fred Oladeinde, said the global conference which is holding on African soil for the first time, would attract international investments, strengthen trade relations and create employment opportunities.
He noted that the 27th edition of AfRICANDO, which will be held from November 17 to 19, would present a unique opportunity for Abia State to strengthen its economic relationships with other countries, attract international investors and integrate local businesses into the global supply chain.

“The visionary outlook of the current administration in Abia State presents us with an opportunity to bring international stakeholders, development partners and investors to the state,” Oladeinde said.
Oladeinde said one of their aims was to establish a permanent campus in Abia State that will serve as a centre for training, capacity development and economic collaboration.
“Such an institution will create employment opportunities for our people and provide the technical and professional training required to prepare our workforce for the demands of the global economy,” he said.
Oladeinde assured that the conference would translate the relationships and discussions generated into practical partnerships, investments, employment opportunities and sustainable economic growth.
